Don’t get the wrong meanings from the title. We are obsessively (enough to eat every day) in love with the classic hummus recipe.
After all, it falls under the rarest of food groups. The one that's healthy, delicious, snackable and easy-to-make (come to think of it, it’s actually the only food that ticks all the right boxes).
This Middle Eastern dip has a pretty loyal international following and why not? At only 27 calories per tablespoon, it's perfect for filling up without adding any excess calorie guilt.

The Holy Month is a time of reflection and generosity, in which Muslims try to do righteous deeds while also spending a lot of quality time with their friends and family.
Thus, Ramadan is known for its large Iftar gatherings where family and friends can share a meal, laugh, chat and practice religious prayers together after sunset.
So, how should you prepare your dinner table for the perfect Iftar?

Fasting during Ramadan falls on every ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Muslims worldwide call this the Holy Month; when they are encouraged to practice self-restraint by mainly fasting - no food and drinks, reflection in prayer, reading the Holy Quran and avoiding indulgent acts and things, in general.
This month, however, means that people who are fasting are also prone to dehydration and headaches as they give up food and drink during the day. There is such a thing as a more effective and healthier way to fast.
